Hmm, all I see is empty post.
Anyway, my all time favourite would be Music of the Spheres by Mike Oldfield.
And best recorded one, probably Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits

 

That is one tough and ungratefull question

 

Subjective of course & depends on taste. My own personal faves "Joe's Garage" Frank Zappa / "Powers of Ten" Shawn Lane / "Axis Bold As Love" Jimi Hendrix

Too many choices

 

Are you meaning to solicit concurrence with your opinion of the album you posted as "best ever," or are you inviting members to post their assertions as to "best album ever?"

If it be the latter, then:

 

I remember seeing Butthole Surfers live back in the late 80s, it was pretty chaotic to say the least. I'm sure Gibby Haynes set fire to his hand.

Best album ever and favourite album ever are two very different things, of course.

 

Anything by Steely Dan.

And of course, my next album.

 

Not disrespecting the classics i also grown up listening to, but let's just agree drukqs and close the thread yeah?! : )

 

exactly. Sorry
What´s your favorite album was the intention

 

it´s a spotify playlist it´s wrong posted? i can see it

 

sorry everyone for the "embarrassing question"

 

more a lifetime's playlist than an album amongst (so many) others really

 

@Andrew: Donald Fagen - The Nightfly. Another great and well-done recording on the then-revolutionary Sony 24 track PCM DASH recorder.

But why pick a "best album" in the first place?
Isn't music about variety?
I would say there are many best albums from different artists.

I think Pet Sounds did the most for the progression of music.

 

I saw them in Brixton Academy, late 80s, early 90s (?) Nude deaf dancer, video wall playing a sex-change operation. My fainting girlfriend.....

Best album ever.............. "Breakdance Party 2"
